A mother and son depend on each other, waiting for her husband to return.
But when he finally does, he kills his wife and abandons his child, all to pursue the elusive path of immortality.
If cultivating immortality means cutting off all emotions and desires, how is that any different from being a puppet?
If it means severing all ties to the mortal world, what good is eternal life?
He was an ordinary mortal who wanted nothing more than a harmonious family and to care for his parents.
He never imagined he would be forced to cultivate, driven by hatred to pursue the Great Dao one step at a time.
He will defy Heaven and slay his father, proving to the world that one can reach the Great Dao without abandoning one's emotions.
Perhaps this is a clash fueled by hatred. Or perhaps it is part of a vast, tangled mystery!
